I started my professional career in 1994 as an artist with DC Comics where I had the chance to collaborate with famed Hollywood Screenwriters Jeph Loeb (Heroes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Scott Lobdell ( Happy Death Day 1 and 2). It was during this time I developed my own unique take on character design and story development. Whether it was imagining a brand new villain to battle the legendary Superman or designing all new characters for a rare Marvel/DC Collaboration, my work was responsible for the success of many titles that ultimately afforded me the opportunity to publish my first creator owned comic, Big Daddy Danger in 2002. I continue to work for DC and in 2019 was even hired to reimagine and illustrate the Joker for the special DC Annual “Outlaws”.
